Human Risk Management: From Fatigue to Engagement

Lucas van der Heide - Behavioral Security Consultant

About this talk

"We run annual e-learnings and phishing simulations twice a year, yet employees still click...” Or: “We had 15% fewer clicks this year—proof that our awareness materials work... right?” Security awareness alone isn’t enough. If you truly want to reduce human risk, you need to go deeper—into human behavior, decision-making, and psychology. Join us for an eye-opening session on how to design security awareness, behavior, and culture programs that actually change behavior—not just check the box. We’ll explore how psychological principles can help move from passive awareness to active prevention. In this webinar, you’ll learn: - Why many well-intentioned phishing simulations fall short—and what to do differently? - How psychological resistance keeps employees from preventing physical unauthorized access—and how to create engagement? Whether you're a security leader, awareness program manager, or behavior change enthusiast, this session will give you fresh tools to rethink how you drive secure behavior in your organization. About The Speaker After researching the psychological impact of ransomware attacks, Lucas developed a strong focus on behavior change within information and cybersecurity. He has designed and implemented security awareness, behavior, and culture programs across various sectors. Lucas takes a behavioral approach to human risk—recognizing that effective security interventions are never one-size-fits-all. His work ranges from custom target group programs to launching multimedia campaigns using behavior change techniques and providing live training sessions. In addition, Lucas has extensive hands-on experience with social engineering—ranging from email and voice phishing to a strong focus on physical social engineering. He believes human risk management is still in its early stages and strongly advocates for tailored, user-centered strategies.
